In Jerusalem in 2007, a reporter asked Livni?s spokesperson Miri Eisen what her response would be to those who say that unilaterally making concessions is seen by Israel?s enemies as a sign of weakness which, like in Gaza, where the good-faith Israeli withdrawal of 2004 has been met with well over a thousand Palestinian rockets sent from the surrendered territory into Israeli cities, would serve only to embolden the fighters to strike harder.
Her response was altogether unencouraging. ?We know that it is not weak,? she said, ?because we know that there is strength in being able to make concessions even when it has not worked before.?
Wasn?t it Einstein who once said that ?the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results??
